Sure you have all guessed but do to GJ's issues and lack of time now spent here by both mods Unique Roleplay is going to be one of the many communities that will be shutting down.
Thank you to all those that posted here and good luck everyone on other journaling sites.

"Some places just seem to be that way. You know, mystical hot-spots… The Devils Triangle; Sedona, Arizona; New Orleans; Stonehenge; places where strange things just seem to happen. I never used to think much about any of that, I thought it all was all bunk, the work of fiction or an over active imagination (Maybe too much pizza before bedtime.). I never believed any of it before I moved to Seattle. Never thought any of it could be true until I bought a renovated condo in the Old Town Towers. But not even the things I saw there could prepare me for what happened underground. Now, I know things like ghosts and werewolves and such can’t exist. But what about that housekeeping woman that walks through walls, and one time walked right through me? Or that creepy pale guy in D5 who always smells like blood (or the woman beside him that always smells like garlic)? Strange howling sounds, terrified screams, disappearing pets..." |

Mysteria RPG: An Original Supernatual RP
mysteria_mods in unique_roleplay @ 09:55pm
 What if the town you lived in was filled with the supernatural? What if your next door neighbor was a vampire? How about a werewolf as your 4th period English Teacher? And that girl at the super market? Yeah, she can read your mind. Welcome to Mysteria where the strange is normal. In a town that was founded by supernaturals, it's generally accepted by the humans that live there that their neighbors are...a bit eccentric. Everyone has a secret here and what happens in Mysteria, stays in Mysteria. Mysteria is an original rp set in the supernatural/paranormal genre. We are a game with original characters in an original setting. We are not a multifandom but if you like shows like Supernatural, Hex, Reaper, Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Ghost Whisper, The Dresden Files, and Moonlight or movies like Underworld, The Covenant, Skinwalkers, Blood and Chocolate, Van Helsing, Constantine, Blade, and other horror movies, or books by authors such as Jim Butcher, Laurell K Hamilton, Kelley Armstrong, Kim Harrison, and other paranormal writers, then Mysteria is for you as the key elements and themes can be found within our rp. We are character development focused with character and group plots encouraged. Major plot lines that will affect the game as a whole are given by the mods and all characters are welcome to get involved. We are looking for players that are looking to have fun while developing their characters and plots with others. Supernatural and human characters alike are needed. Characters of all ages are welcome, but players must be of 18 years of age due to violence and mature content that may occur. Currently accepting applications [Game Info] [Mysteria Mods] |

La Vie en Guerre, a German Occupied France RPG
sam_cole in unique_roleplay @ 02:18am
La Vie en Guerre is a lightly supernatural historical RPG set in German Occupied Paris, France. It starts in the late winter of 1940. A puppet government is in control of all of Northern France and administrating most of the southern 'free zone'. Rations are low. Luxuries are unheard of other than cheap booze, free music, or show girls. Many families have been left wondering if their husbands and sons will come home, if they are prisoners of war, or if they are dead. A curfew is strictly enforced.
There seems little reprieve in sight and people are losing hope. Most of the city seems to have just accepted what happened and is doing its best to move on with what is left of their lives. However, there are a few who are starting to talk about fighting back. Whispers of building a resistance have begun to work their way through the shadows and a few rare, heroic people are stepping up to the cause. Whether their efforts will make things worse or better has yet to be seen, but at least it gives some Parisians hope.
Will you be among the Parisians fighting for a better life? Or are you just trying to survive on your own? Have you heard the rumors of the monsters who fought on the side of the Germans and do you fear them all the more for it? Are you a monster yourself? Where is the line of morality drawn when good men follow bad orders and what side of that line do you stand upon? Find out during La Vie en Guerre...
We are currently searching for a second in command to the resistance! Male, strong role player and interested in a leadership position. However, we are also accepting resistance Fighters, Nazis, Civilians, Government Officers, Supernaturals and more! Please check us out at La Vie en Guerre or IM CalypsoOfIsles on AIM for more information!

The myths and legends. The things that go bump in the night. What if they were just like you? | |||||
| Since the dawn of time they've been blamed for all of life's oddities. A strange noise? It must be a ghost. Pets mangled and eaten? Maybe a werewolf got them. That pale man that never ventures out in the day? A vampire, surely. Children behaving badly must be changelings, and that table had to have been forced into your path by a mischievous sprite, now giggling at your misfortune. The list goes on. For each being, there are hundreds of tales, most pure delusion of course, though much of it based in fact. From Nessie and Sasquatch to the Bermuda Triangle and the Land of Mu, our world is filled with the unattainable, the unexplainable... that which we call Myth, or Legend. Yet, like the Will O' the Wisp, or the ghost breath that sends a shiver down your spine, the truth tugs softly at our conscience. Whispers in the dark of a boogeyman in the shadows, or a fairy spinning gossamer tales in the corners of your mind. They are real. And in so many ways... they are just like you. They work. They feed. They even have children. And just like humans, those children go to school. School however, isn’t always as just classes and homework. Strange old castles often have far more lurking about them than is so readily apparent. Ancient curses have been set loose on the school. Memory loss. Sickness. Power switching... Was it an accident? Or are more sinister plans afoot? Unanswered questions abound as the students and staff first try and understand exactly what has happened to them... We're changing the future one myth at a time. | |||||

| January 1st, 2006. Experiments at The Compound begin. Last year, twenty-four volunteers were selected to take part in a social experiment. They would give up one year of their life, to science. Upon completing the experiment, they would be rewarded handsomely. For one year, they would disappear from their lives. They would tell family, work, and friends only that they were going on a Pilgrimage, and they would be gone for one year. On December 31st, they would leave their lives, and be taken to a secret place referred to only as The Compound. A large block of property and mansion, completely blocked off and barricaded away from the outside world. No phones, or cellphones. No television, no radio. No newspapers. No letters. And no leaving, for one year. Just twenty very different individuals, all selected for very different reasons, living together, no matter what. Could you do it? It seemed very simple, at the time. Everything they needed would be provided... all they had to do was give up a year, and get used to hidden cameras over their shoulders. It would be worth it. What they weren't told, was that it would be a simple social observation. It would be a study, not only of how strangers would adapt to their surroundings and live together, but of how different people would react to extreme and high-stress situations. Everything starts off fine and dandy. The days go by, and just as everyone is starting to get comfortable, that's when weird things begin to happen. Subtle changes, at first. For several days, the temperature in the house cannot be controlled, leaving parts of the house at sky-high temperatures. Then nothing. Then it seems like in the middle of the night, walls and hallways are changing, revealing rooms that no one seems to remember. No power or electricity for a week. Having your inner-most secrets exposed the next. Waking up one morning to find one of your housemates - maybe one of your new friends - has been removed, and replaced. Minds starting failing. People start snapping. People start dying. And then you discover that perhaps the lot of you aren't so random at all. It seems, that each and every one of you is somehow connected... playinghouserpg : An original roleplay. Join today, characters are going fast!

Its been One Annual since the defeat of the evil witch and DG, Glitch, Cain & Raw helped to save the O.Z. Queen Ozmmea has taken her rightful place on the throne and has restored her most loyal advisor with the other half of his brain, gaining back her Ambrose. The once powerful and evil sorceress Azkadellia has been restored to her rightful place as princess, but she has not survived the ordeal without a few screws lose. DG has also taken her place as princess, and is being groomed for the throne, as soon as her mother can get her wild roaming mind to stop trying to find a new adventure around every corner. Cain and Jed have taken up protection detail of the castle, making sure the Royal Family’s new rule will be undisturbed by any lingering undesirables that may be out there trying to harm them. Raw was sent to be with his people and take care of the little one and Toto, well the Tutor is still trying to teach DG magic.
But not all is okay in the O.Z. and when one ‘witch’ falls...there is always another to take its place. This time in the form of the Xela the Heartless who is quietly forming a small
resistance of her own…

Durmstrang Uber Alles. A different kind of Harry Potter RPG.
uber_alles_mods in unique_roleplay @ 05:37pm

| PREMISE The Durmstrang Institute was created for the magical instruction of Eastern European wizards. Once upon a time, it accepted all promising students who had magical aptitude, but now, any time that Muggleborns and halfbloods were ever accepted is a distant memory, in favor of rigid social classes and tradition. Students are ingrained with a sense of superiority or inferiority [one that often starts at home], a respect for tradition and appropriate social behavior, and most importantly a strong desire to succeed and to be the best. Students that graduate from Durmstrang are the most talented, the strongest, the brightest, and the best. The only question is... are you strong enough to survive until graduation? |

Update
twisted_tangle in unique_roleplay @ 12:05pm
Due to some added help on the mod front I have decided to go back to moderated submissions here at Unique Roleplay to ensure we do not get multiple posts, inactive games, or ads from communities that are not RP or unique. HP games will need to comment to the HP post in order to get approved before posting in Unique Roleplay again. Other then that the rules of before still apply. Please use a subject line, delete previous post before posting again, please include a link to the main rpg, and do not use graphics over 500px.
All ads that were posted during the unmoderated break will need to fix any rules they have broken or be deleted. Keep in mind that if you want to post again for them that you must delete the old post and make sure the new post follows the rules.
I will be using this journal for mod activities nowtwisted_tangle
And please welcome our new comodmysticshell

mysticshellPentamerone! Folklore and Fairy Tale RP on Greatestjournal!
_thestoryteller in unique_roleplay @ 01:14pm

| //PREMISE// What happens after ever after? Do our beloved heroes and villains vanish? Are they doomed to repeat themselves over and over again with each human retelling? Do they continue to progress and grow even when their most avid fans & biographers stopped listening to them decades, even centuries ago? Pentamerone is the last stronghold of human imagination. The hundreds of magical lands and worlds that used to exist in the minds of children are now in a state of decay. As a result, the figures of legend have fled to this newly imagined land. Some are afraid Pentamerone will merely become a graveyard for the last of the fairy tales, others are determined to start a new life in their promised land. It's up to you, and them, to decide how they will survive. Or not. |

we jest!
_dna_ in unique_roleplay @ 08:14am
 In a city where officials can't be trusted to take care of their people, where night turns into the playground for vagabonds and criminals, where the general population has a curfew of 8:00p.m., and where just about anyone can be a victim, normal people are beginning to stand up. Desperately in need of heroes, your average everyday citizen, coupled with a unique invention or useless talent, has decided to make a stand! Together, hopefully these unlikely heroes can rise up and rid our streets of crime once and for all. |

Horography
horography in unique_roleplay @ 06:39pm
 Or is it? What if you went to sleep in the present and woke up the next day, almost fifty years earlier? Or twenty? Maybe even a hundred? Not to mention in a completely different location from where they last remember. What if you were at a night club in New York City one minute, and suddenly in the middle of the Battle of Gettysburg the next? Or clinging to life in the middle of the Atlantic on a sinking ship? For most people, it would be a very peculiar dream, but for this group of strangers, this impossible circumstance is a harsh new reality. On the outside, the individuals who have woken up in a different time and place have seemingly little in common -- from teenagers still struggling with passing their finals to grown men in the midst of a mid-life crisis, the primary thing they share is the fact that they all come from what we consider present day. In truth, their unique situation stems simply from luck of the evolutionary draw -- they have inherited a specific gene that has given them the ability to move through the time-space continuum. They're special. Different. Powerful, if one looks at it that way. Of course, none of them are aware of this fact, nor do many care at this point. After all, they've got a bigger problem on their hands -- aside from simply trying to get by and survive, getting home is on the top of the list. But as is the case in any good story, it's not going to be easy. Getting from point A to point B isn't likely to happen on the first try. And even once they've realized that they might be able to control what's happening to them, or what's happening to the rest of the world, they might find that they have a whole new set of problems on their hands. horography |
